"Founder of student aid startup Frank reacts to prosecutor's case against her"

The founder of student aid startup Frank, Charlie Javice, and the company's chief growth officer, Olivier Amar, have pleaded not guilty to criminal charges alleging that they tricked J.P. Morgan Chase into paying $175 million for their business by creating a fake data set that inflated their client base. Prosecutors claim that Javice and Amar misrepresented the number of customers Frank had, which was actually around 300,000 instead of the claimed 4 million. Javice's attorney argues that communications among J.P. Morgan Chase executives will support her innocence. The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for August 15.

Frank College Aid Startup Executives Plead Not Guilty to JPMorgan Fraud Charges

The founder and a former executive of college financial aid startup Frank have pleaded not guilty to charges of defrauding JPMorgan Chase. Charlie Javice and Olivier Amar entered their pleas before a U.S. District Judge in Manhattan. Prosecutors allege that Javice lied to JPMorgan about the number of student customers Frank had, while Amar purchased fake lists of college students' data. JPMorgan discovered the fraud after finding that marketing materials sent to supposed customers had low delivery and open rates. The bank shut down Frank and CEO Jamie Dimon called the acquisition a "huge mistake." Javice has also filed counterclaims against JPMorgan in a separate case.

Charlie Javice Crowned "Magic Number Finder" in $175M JPMorgan Sale

Workers at Frank, a financial planning site for college students, reportedly questioned the company's financials before JPMorgan Chase purchased the company for $175 million in 2021, and even referred to their boss, Charlie Javice, as the "king of finding magic numbers." JPMorgan has sued over getting bilked by Javice in the deal, alleging that Frank's user base was supposedly more like 300,000, not the 4.25 million that Javice claimed. Javice has been charged with defrauding JPMorgan into buying her now-shuttered college financial aid startup under the guise that millions of customers would come with it.

JPMorgan employees doubted stats before Frank acquisition

Internal messages released in a legal filing show that employees of college aid platform Frank expressed disbelief when founder Charlie Javice directed them to boost their customer count ahead of JPMorgan's acquisition of the startup for $175 million in 2021. JPMorgan alleges that Frank had fewer than 300,000 real customers when it was purchased, despite Javice instructing employees to change "public-facing numbers" to 4.25 million customers. Javice has been criminally charged by the Department of Justice and sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for fraud related to the company sale, while JPMorgan has sued Javice for lying about her company's scale to close the deal.
